Today was the 10th day since we submitted our request for government documents to the Mayor's office. I did just get an email from Lincoln Ashida giving me some lawyerly song and dance about since the Mayor has withdrawn the nominations they don't want to hand over any docs yadda, yadda, yadda.
Here's some of his yammer:
Ashida: "It is my understanding Mayor Billy Kenoi has not yet made a final decision on all nominees, so any records relative to this matter are pre-decisional. For this reason, the County has elected to not make them public at the present time."
We responded that if we develop an interest in post decisional documents we will make a separate request. Meanwhile our document request remains and the CoH has failed to deliver as required by law. It is not a matter of electing to comply.
So Monday morning there will be a complaint filed with the state Office of Information Practices (OIP).

Assume the best and ask questions.
